I tried to juice up the colors but there's some red reflecting off the backs of the cards which made it impossible without spot editing. (it may be possible but I don' know photoshop THAT well)

I put up a print that's a wider format (it can be cut down) and spot edited to really bring out the red

I do like the sharpness(that i can see the texture of the cards), composition and it meets the challenge topic. So technically I think is good. But it is very low in interest, there is nothing that makes me want to 'keep looking' at your photo. I think you have a lot of tecnical skill, maybe need a more interesting subject

Should have definately made the Jack level with the horizon. That would give it more "power" I think. And also use other cards beside the Aces. In my mind, the Aces compete with the Jack. Use 3's, 5's, 4's, etc. Good shot anway.

Great idea and composition! I just wish the red were a little brighter to emphasize the color.

You might have juiced the saturation of the reds a little better to make the Jack stand out a little more, but it's a great crisp image, and a nice concept.

Nice job... The reds seem to be a tad desaturated though?

Looked at this for ages... thinking (s)he should have used a red card.. Then I see that a heart is a red card.. but it looks grey.. Is it black and white? No, the yellow is still there.. In short.. good idea.. think you should have made the card redder..7
